In this study, seventeen (17) composite blends of broken rice fractions and full-fat soybean, formulated using response surface methodology and central composite design within a range of barrel temperatures (100-140 °C), initial feed moisture content (15-25%) and soybean composition (8-24%), were extruded with a twin-screw extruder and the expansion and color indices were optimized. The results indicated a significant (p<0.05) effect of extrusion conditions on the responses. Fitted predictive models had coefficients of 88.9%, 95.7%, 97.3%, 95.4% and 95.2%, respectively, for expansion index, bulk density, lightness, redness and yellowness. The p-value and lack-of-fit tests of the models could well explain the observed variability and therefore could be used to establish production setting for the twin-screw extruder. The optimum extrusion conditions were found to be 130 °C (barrel temperature), 20% (feed moisture level) and 23% feed soybean composition and optimum responses in terms of bulk density, expansion index, lightness, redness and yellowness chroma indices were 0.21 g cm-3, 128.9%, 17.1, 3.13 and 24.5 respectively. This indicates that optimum conditions can be established in twin-screw extrusion cooking of broken rice fractions and full-fat soybean composite blends that can result in product of low bulk and maximum expansion with a satisfactory light yellow product color that can be used to produce products that valorize broken rice and reduce qualitative postharvest loss.

Abstract Rice flour, wheat flour and flour in combination (rice:wheat::50:50) were used to prepare modified flour using co-rotating twin screw extruder. The effects of barrel temperature, feed moisture and screw speed on product responses (specific mechanical energy[SME], expansion ratio and bulk density) were studied using response surface methodology. Extrusion variables were barrel temperature (125, 150 and 175°C), moisture content (14, 16 and 18%) and screw speed (300, 400 and 500 rpm). Expansion ratio was directly affected by barrel temperature, whereas increase in temperature decreased SME and bulk density. Feed moisture had positive effect on bulk density only, i.e. it increased with increase in moisture. Increase in screw speed was directly related to SME and expansion ratio. The higher R2 values showed that the model developed for the response variables appeared adequate for predictive purposes.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a new intensive plasticizing and mixing screw zone design on the effectiveness of the corotating twin-screw extrusion process for talc-filled polypropylene. The study determined the effect of the angle between the trilobe kneading elements forming the intensive plasticizing and mixing zone of the screws, the screw rotational speed, and the polypropylene/talc filling ratio on the characteristics of the extrusion process in a corotating twin-screw extruder EHP-2x20. The paper describes the experimental design and obtained results as well as the developed empirical models for selected variables of the extrusion process.

A mathematical model has been derived to describe the pressure drop along the conveying and reverse sections of a partly full, fully intermeshing co-rotating twin-screw extruder. The model extends previous work on single screw extrusion, whereby the Benbow-Bridgwater model of paste rheology is combined with a force balance on a plug of paste. Experiments to verify the model have been carried out using a laboratory scale twin-screw extruder fitted with a hydraulic feeder and a modified barrel section allowing the collection of pressure data at numerous points along the extruder. Initial results suggested that the model was able to correctly predict the trends observed but underestimated the absolute values of the pressure. This was attributed to a change in the rheology of the paste due to viscous heating effects. Further experimental work was carried out to determine the relationship between the rheological parameters and temperature; this allowed a temperature correction to be made to the initial data after which the agreement with the predictions was greatly improved.

Central composite rotatable design for k = 3 was used to study the combined effect of feed moisture (12-44%), cowpea concentration (0-20%) and groundnut concentration (0-10%) on the physical and functional properties of extruded sorghum-legume blends in a single screw extruder using response surface methodology. Product expansion ratio, bulk density, total colour change, water absorption capacities at 27°C and 90°C and swelling capacities were determined on the products using standard analytical methods. Expansion ratio, bulk density and total colour of extrudates from the sorghum-legume blends decreased with increasing feed moisture. Increasing the concentration of legumes in the product increased the water absorption capacities at 27°C and 70°C and increased swelling capacities due to the gel forming ability of the macromolecules (proteins and starch) in the products and availability of hydrophilic groups to bind water molecules, thus enhancing the functional properties of the blends. Models developed for the indices gave R2-values ranging from 61.6% (for water absorption capacity at 27°C) to 89.9% (for bulk density) with insignificant lack of fits indicating the adequacy of the model in explaining the data. The optimal conditions noted for producing the puffed extruded snack products with better physical properties and functional characteristics from sorghum-groundnut-cowpea blends were at 16-18% feed moisture, 14-16% cowpea and 6-8% groundnut additions.

The aim of this research was to optimize the processing of dried sago noodle. Sago noodle was made through a process using twin screw extruder with the addition of GMS (Glycerol Monostearate) and ISP (Isolated Soybean Protein).Process optimation was performed with RSM (response surface methodology) using three process variables, i.e. extruder temperature (65-80oC), GMS concentration (0-5%), and ISP concentration (0-10%). The optimum processcondition was temperature of 80oC, GMS of 4.5%, and ISP of 3.7%.

In order to increase the extraction rate of flavonoids from mungbean skin, twin-screw extrusion process was used as a pretreatment method. After optimizing conditions of twin-screw extrusion process, effects on ethanol extracting flavonoids were studied. Results revealed that the best extrusion conditions were: screw speed at 268r/min, extrusion temperature at 115~120°C, feed moisture at 17% and feeding rate at 726g/min. Under these conditions, the optimum condition for ethanol extraction of flavonoids was: using 38% ethanol solution at a material-liquid ratio of 1:20 at 77.5 °C with 2.5 h. The average extraction rate of flavonoids from mungbean skin was 3.14%, comparing to rate of un-extruded material 2.07%, extraction rate raised by 51.5%. This pretreatment can destroy the density structure of mungbean skin which has great effect on the increase of extraction rate of flavonoids.
